A mare showed hind limb shivering and neuromuscular issues. Necropsy revealed a spinal cord lesion, but no muscle denervation, ruling out common causes.

Area of Science:

  • Equine neurology
  • Veterinary pathology

Background:

  • Neuromuscular deficits in horses can be challenging to diagnose.
  • Shivering-like presentations require thorough investigation to identify underlying causes.

Observation:

  • An 11-year-old mare presented with clinical signs suggestive of shivering in the left hind limb.
  • Physical examination revealed neuromuscular deficits.
  • Necropsy was performed to investigate the cause of the clinical signs.

Findings:

  • No denervation atrophy was observed in the left hind gastrocnemius muscle.
  • A small, right-sided lesion was identified in the spinal cord at the C3-C4 and C4-C5 vertebral levels.
  • Diagnostic tests for equine herpesvirus-1 and Sarcocystis spp. were negative.

Implications:

  • The spinal cord lesion at C3-C4/C4-C5 is the likely cause of the mare's neuromuscular deficits.
  • This case highlights the importance of spinal cord examination in diagnosing equine neurological disorders.
  • Further investigation may be warranted to determine the etiology of the spinal cord lesion.
